Hi!I recently updated to nmap 4.01 and have since then the following problem on NetBSD 3.0:
********************************************************** Starting Nmap 4.01 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) getinterfaces: Failed to open ethernet interface (fxp0). A possible cause on BSD operating systems is running out of BPF devices (see http://seclists.org/lists/nmap-dev/2006/Jan-Mar/0014.html). QUITTING! **********************************************************Unfortunately, the printed link couldn't help, because since more than 17 months, the NetBSD-bpf is a cloning device.
I posted this already on netbsd-users: http://tinyurl.com/nhoz8 Am I doing something wrong? Thank you & with kind regards, Petar Bogdanovic P.S: Maybe, someone will find the attached (kdump-ed) ktrace* useful. *) 'ktrace nmap -sS -P0 -T aggressive $IPADDR'
